James Weldon Johnson's poem, The Gift to Sing, set for SA choir by Erik Meyer

This piece encourages singers (especially young ones) to find their own musical voice! It sets Johnson's introspective text about the quiet healing power of music, interspersed with sections for musical improvisation. Singers are welcome to create their own melody while the piano continues to play harmonically. Every voice's heartfelt contribution is valuable and beautiful.

I wrote this piece because throughout my career as a choir director, many of my singers have been told me I can't really sing, or so-and-so told me not to sing loud because I'm not good, or I can't improvise, etc. I want this piece to help bring out everyone's voice - no matter what you have been told in the past, you CAN sing, and more than that, I bet you can improvise! I hope this setting will help singers love their voice.

SKU: A0.1271776

Composed by Bebe Rexha, Christopher Tempest, David Saint Fleur, Nick Black, and Samuel James Zammarelli. Arranged by Julian Hay. A Cappella,Children,Contemporary,Pop. Octavo. 5 pages. Julian Hay #864130. Published by Julian Hay (A0.1271776).

This arrangement was commissioned for, and premiered by, Voices Co. Pop A Cappella Academy, for one of our Kids Ensemble. It is fun and catchy, and an extended arrangement has also been performed by our Adult Classes (SATB). 


VOCAL LAYOUT:

The melody, or lead line, is divided amongst the vocal parts to give variety. The B.G (background) parts replicate the instrumental accompaniment of the original track, filling out the arrangement and creating the contemporary texture that is at the heart of Pop A Cappella. The Vocal Percussion (Beatboxing) should be a feature, and they provide the arrangement with much of the groove and vibe it needs.

The dynamics give an indication which vocal parts should be strongest at any given moment, but changes may need to be made depending on the number / balance of singers, and the strengths of each vocal section. As a general rule, the melody or lead should be strongest, followed by any harmony parts (those with lyrics), followed by any background parts (Mmm's / Dmm's, etc).

RHYTHM & BASS:


This Beatboxing part is suitable for beginners, and is made up of groupings of patterns. Specific Beatboxing notes are included in their own section.

If your ensemble is without a low bass or a beatboxer you could consider the following options.

- Use electric bass guitar playing the bass part

- Use a drum kit or drum box (Cajon)

- Use a piano to provide some simple background accompaniment

If using clicks or claps, do so on the off beats (2 and 4).

PERSONAL ASSISTANCE:

If you need any assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with us directly, we'd be happy to reply to any questions via email, or you can also book in a 1:1 consultation between your M.D and Julian Hay, or a Zoom workshop with your ensemble for specific feedback:
